Why India needs to become the DLT Playground - Sinha Santos, Founder Oix.Global

Image
Malta, Gibraltar and the Isle of Man - three countries that were on the fringe of technology till a few years ago are at the center of the biggest technological revolution of the day - Blockchain. I am back in Asia, and I reached Delhi despite the fog to meet some government officials to further the conversations that I have been having for the last year. On the sidelines, I met with a few technology leaders and picked their brains. The one thing we all were unanimous was the slow pace at which the government is moving towards technology adoption. Do not get me wrong, there is a lot of action going on with regards to Digital India, however, the edge is missing.  Read more :   http://bit.ly/2Nkrpw8

Hurricane Dorian has touched land and touched many lives in its path. This is a disaster at a scale that needs the society to come together and do something concrete to help those who have been affected.

Blockchain in Government - an Insight by Sinha Santos, Founder Oix.Global

Image
I spoke on the topic "Blockchain in Government" a few months back in Mumbai. I specifically chose the subject as it is a hot topic of discussion. My interaction at various levels of governments in the few months preceding had given me a unique perspective. I frequently start the process by asking a few simple questions. These questions are the qualifiers to ascertain if Blockchain can be of any assistance. The first couple of questions are about the use and the source of the data - if multiple parties share the data and if multiple parties updated the data. Read more

The Expanding Footprint of Blockchain Economy

Although we are still a capitalist world, socialist ideologies are taking a foothold, and I think that is a positive development. I have been closely associated with many business bodies and committees, having lived in California for the last decade, which looked at the social impact of technologies. Now that the hype around cryptocurrencies and ICOs have died down, we are witnessing the emergence of the real Blockchain economy. Read more

Image
For an average internet surfer, the world wide web is a seamless flow of websites and information. Look closer, and you see many different layers that work connected, yet independent. The most simple example is how you have traditional websites and the Tor-based onion sites. In near future we will see a premium web network come up. This will be based in the Blockchain network. Not all websites will migrate to this or even need this. But, this will be the future that will drive real innovation in intellectual property rights. There will be a blockchain-based youtube alternative shortly. Read more

Blockchain in eGovernance by Sinha Santos, Founder OiX.Global

Image
I have often talked about DLT and cryptocurrencies and my limited belief in actual adoption by governments, at this juncture of time.

I do understand that governments across the globe have responded to this promising but unproven technology differently. Some governments are being apathetic; some are adopting a wait-and-watch approach, while some are creating regulatory sandboxes and sponsoring limited testing.  Read more
